If I wear lynx, does that make me gay regardless of the name change? I'm a middle-class, southern Englishman that's recently discovered a love of indie music so I think I know the answer here anyway...

Body spray would be ok if people just used a tiny spray of it instead of spraying it all over themselves and making everyone else in the rooms breathing messed up and gagging etc. Guys, spraying this shit all over you does not make you smell good, it makes you smell repulsive and might give someone an asthma attack. One time I was in school and a kid sprayed a bunch of that shit, the teacher had a bad reaction to it and face turned a different color and had to leave the room.

Seriously, I don't get all of the hate thrown against Axe. If a body spray is capable of masking my natural (read; unpleasant) odor, then it's good enough for me.

I found in high school that the biggest problem with Axe is that the people who wore it used WAY too much. It's not unpleasant when used moderately, but every time I was in the change room the sheer amount of the stuff sprayed into the air stung my eyes and made me gag.

I got in one kids face in high school for doing that after gym once. I got detention for a couple days for "swearing loudly," but he never did that again at least. That shit is suffocating in an enclosed space.

I always found stuff like Axe was only good for clearing out a room durring police raids. usually the actual scent of the stuff isn't so bad, but yeah, it's way too easy to over use. Plus, at least in my experience, the stuff doesn't really stay on for more than say, 15 minutes. The body washes, deodorant sticks, shampoos, and other hair products are decent though, for what the are.

Remember when Goatwhore was one of the few bands that was both very popular in the underground while being simultaneously successful in the mainstream? What the hell happened? I didn't realize they released an album back in February until today. Where was all the hooplah? You've failed me, metaldom.

Lots of big albums released this year, maybe it was swallowed by the hoopla. Whatever a hoopla is. Strange word. Hoopla.

I hate Lynx (as it's called here) with a passion; every variety of it that I've ever encountered smells awful, and sends me running for the hills. Not to the hills, because that brand doesn't deserve a Maiden reference. A small amount of cologne or aftershave, but, please, don't bathe in the stuff... I've been on restaurant dates where I was unable to eat the food because of the overpowering stench; it's like a forcefield - even if I wanted to get near them, I couldn't bring myself to, as I tend to prioritise breathing.

Exactly. All types of Lynx, Axe, whatever that evil concoction may be called, are for amateurs; get a real aftershave or cologne. Or just go for a simple, fresh deodorant - one that suggests regular hygiene without making you smell like a wannabe pimp.

Wouldn't that be a lot more work than typing Xlxlx? (See, not that hard.)

On the subject of Goatwhore, though, their popularity does seem to have decreased; on their tour here in July, they played small local venues (rather than the mid-level ones international metal acts usually fill), which surprised me.
